Chapter 72: Outbreak of Three Points
The people from the Clippers now know that Zhong Yu does not seem to have three-pointers. Although he feels that his mid-range shot is so accurate, the three-pointer should be not weak, but the reality tells them that this guy really doesn't shoot three-pointers.
So, seeing Zhong Yu receive a pass, the defender tried to block Zhong Yu's offensive route into the three-point line, making him unable to come in. When they thought, Zhong Yu, who was unable to enter the three-point line, basically had no big threat.
But they didn't know what Zhong Yu really planned.
This guy suddenly jumped up at the top of the three-point line.
"Uh..." Paul and other Hornets players, including Scott, were stunned. They just saw the bread three-pointer that Zhong Yu shot. Could it be that he wanted to use his shot to score three-pointers?
But feeding the ball and feeding the feel is a shooter's business. Although Zhong Yu is an absolute shooter with no solution within the three-point line, what else are you going to join in the fun now when you get out of the three-point line?
However, no matter what they thought, Zhong Yu's body had already taken off the air, and the basketball in his hand was raised high, like a goshawk that was about to fly. Then, he moved the basketball with his left hand and pushed it out with the power of Zhongcheng behind, and the middle finger played a major role.
The basketball left his hands—
"Swish!"
Their glasses fell all over the floor! Their impression that Zhong Yu would not shoot three-pointers was mostly based on the strong contrast between Zhong Yu's accurate mid-range shot and no three-pointer, plus the air balloon just now.
But now, Zhong Yu immediately destroyed their worldview with a three-pointer.
"I really got in..." West widened his eyes, turned his head to look at Zhong Yu, a little surprised.
Clippers defender Corey Mageti said to Zhong Yu a little surprised: "Hey, it turns out you can shoot three-pointers." Asking the opponent on the court is actually a provocative act, but Zhong Yu doesn't care because he knows that the opponent is just surprised.
So he curled his lips and said quietly: "Of course, three-pointers are a necessary means for shooting guards... Otherwise, why should you call shooting guards?"
Mageti choked, then said silly: "But you threw an air balloon before."
Zhong Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother, as an NBA player, you won't be naive. I think someone in the world can miss any three-pointer in his career."
…………
The game continued to begin, Zhong Yu's three-pointer gave the Hornets a surprise. After a few offense and defense transformations, the last 5 seconds left in the third quarter were about to end. At this time, the Hornets led the Clippers by 18 points. Because after Zhong Yu came on the court, the Hornets' touch seemed to be pulled out all of a sudden. The leading advantage they established against the Clippers also continued to forge ahead with the help of the feel, and turned into 18 points.
In the last five seconds, Paul passed the basketball to Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu stood at the top of the three-point line. At this moment, he was facing a flat horse looking inside the three-point line. The opponent had to prevent Zhong Yu from breaking through, so he was more cautious in defense.
Zhong Yu didn't care and made another jump shot.
Moreover, in order to avoid the opponent's block, this jump shot was a backward jump shot.
"At the back jump shot outside the three-point line... This kid is addicted to shooting three-pointers. But this is the last shot in the third quarter, and it's nothing if he misses it." Scott's thought flashed through his subconscious mind.
However, something weird happened. Zhong Yu, who made one of two three-pointers in this game, raised his hand and made a three-pointer in the last five seconds of the third quarter.
Moreover, this three-point passes through the net strangely.
"**..." Many players of the Clippers cursed inwardly. They didn't expect that Zhong Yu would actually make another three-pointer. This is indeed quite different from the air balloon he missed before.
In this way, after hitting the three-pointer, Zhong Yu's score in this game reached 28 points.
He made 11 of 16 two-pointers and 2 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 28 points.
As a professional player, Zhong Yu certainly knows the effectiveness of three-pointers. This three-pointer not only makes the team's scores soar, but also hits the opponent's morale and saves the entire team. For the players, it is also an opportunity for personal data to soar.
Scarlett Johnson felt very happy because she saw that this guy Zhong Yu also started to hit the three-pointer.
In this way, his mid-range shots in the inside line are unsolvable, and the breakthrough is difficult to guard against, and he also has the ability to make three-pointers. What awaits him is a brighter road.
With 28 points in the third quarter, although Scarlett doesn't like watching basketball very much, he also knows the horror of this data, especially for a second-round pick like Zhong Yu.
…………
At the end of the second quarter, Zhong Yu's physical strength increased slightly due to the unsealed area, and he still has enough energy now.
But he knew that he wouldn't have much playing time in the fourth quarter, and Scott was planning to maintain their physical strength.
Of course Zhong Yu knew that the playoffs were coming, and the real battlefield for the NBA to fight was still in the playoffs!
He scored 28 points in the third quarter, and this data is indeed quite terrifying. Zhong Yu’s recent efficiency is really high.
"Boss, I've completed the task." Zhong Yu sat on the stool and said to Scott.
"Still work harder." Scott said with a smile and said nothing. Zhong Yu didn't want to talk much, so he took out a towel and covered it on his head. Sweat dripped on the seat. Zhong Yu grabbed the towel from his head and wiped his face.
The fourth quarter game began, and many fans at home were looking forward to Zhong Yu's performance. However, it seemed that their wish was difficult to realize.
Because several major players of the Clippers have already left the court to rest, this means they have given up on this game. Anyway, they are still going back to fish this season, so it is better to leave some strength to fish.
The main players of the Hornets did not play, and Zhong Yu they were waiting for did not play, which made the fans very regretful, but there was no way, the Hornets also had their own considerations.
Zhong Yu walked on the court for two minutes in the second half of the fourth quarter, missed a shot, but instead beat his shooting percentage and picked up another rebound.
At the end of the game, the whistle sounded.
The players of the two teams finally hugged friendly. Today, the Hornets defeated their opponents with a big score of 124:103. Zhong Yu performed well, making 11 of 17 two-pointers and 2 of 3 three-pointers, scoring a total of 28 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. This data is quite outstanding.
In this game, Zhong Yu's score was the second highest in the whole game, and he has scored more than 20 points in five consecutive games, and is constantly breaking the second round pick record.
Chapter completed!
